*I received Valentia products for review purposes. I received E.L.F. products for testing purposes. All thoughts and opinions are my own.*

My skin is far from perfect, but it has certainly come a long way since I started taking better care of it. I still use all of the products listed in my How I Cleared My Acne with 4 Products post. When the seasons change it's always a good idea to update your skincare regimen. Cooler months call for more moisture and warmer months call for more SPF and lightweight products. I'm sharing my updated nighttime winter skincare routine that deeply cleanses, fights wrinkles, lightens hyperpigmentation, and keeps skin moisturized even on the coldest fall or winter days.

How I Cleared My Acne with 4 Products!

As a teenager I struggled with terrible acne. Nothing I used cleared it for more than a week or two - not Proactiv, not Clearasil, not Neutrogena, NOTHING! Enter this past year where I'm absolutely fed up with the breakouts and hyper-pigmentation. I've always thought I had oily, resilient skin, but I actually have oily and SENSITIVE skin. That meant all the chemical-ridden cleansers, brushes, and creams I had been using over time were actually too harsh for my skin. It took a while and a lot of experimenting, but I eventually came up with a skin care routine that has cleared my acne and greatly reduced the appearance of my dark marks! I've recently started wearing makeup for the first time in over 10 years and this skin-clearing routine has made foundation almost unnecessary. I could honestly go about my day with a little concealer or tinted moisturizer around my eyes. Keep reading to see how I cleared my acne with only 4 all-natural products!

Valentia Ultimate Skin Repair & Hydration Combo Review

Valentia is a cruelty-free, natural, and organic skin care company dedicated to products that are free of toxins and parabens.  If you remember from my 16 for 2016 list one of my goals was to use more natural or organic products for my hair and body so naturally I jumped at the chance to work with Valentia because of their natural approach to skin care. I was given the chance to review their True Glow Eye Cream and Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask.
